Yes. There were several statements that were plain false, and I picked that one because I had proof-of-falsehood.
>However, the BPO era has added a significant number of jobs of questionable worth and the statement does talk of a real sociological phenomenon.
I think it is entirely possible to write about this phenomenon without having to stretch the truth.
EDIT: I just realized that the article doesn't really say anything about Aussies.
- rue 15y agoOne anecdote certainly isn't “proof-of-falsehood”, be the veracity of the original statement what it may.
- hzay 15y agoI meant proof-of-falsehood for myself. That is, I knew vaguely that a lot of things that were written in that article were not quite true, but I didn't have facts that showed them to be false, except for the quote in my original post. I didn't write all the facts I had against that because I felt that, if you do not believe my anecdote, offering more than one doesn't strengthen my case, and if you choose to believe it, I needn't offer more than one story.
- baltcode 15y agoThe author/narrator didn't say anything about Aussies, the BPO trainer did.
